\subsubsection{How can we model boolean expressions?}
nipkow@8749
     6
nipkow@8749
     7
We want to represent boolean expressions built up from variables and
nipkow@8749
     8
constants by negation and conjunction. The following datatype serves exactly
nipkow@8749
     9
that purpose:%

    13
\begin{isamarkuptext}%
nipkow@8749
    14
\noindent
nipkow@9541
    15
The two constants are represented by \isa{Const\ True} and
nipkow@9541
    16
\isa{Const\ False}. Variables are represented by terms of the form
nipkow@9644
    17
\isa{Var\ \mbox{n}}, where \isa{\mbox{n}} is a natural number (type \isa{nat}).
nipkow@8749
    18
For example, the formula $P@0 \land \neg P@1$ is represented by the term
wenzelm@9673
    19
\isa{And\ {\isacharparenleft}Var\ \isadigit{0}{\isacharparenright}\ {\isacharparenleft}Neg\ {\isacharparenleft}Var\ \isadigit{1}{\isacharparenright}{\isacharparenright}}.

\subsubsection{What is the value of a boolean expression?}
nipkow@8749
    22
nipkow@8749
    23
The value of a boolean expression depends on the value of its variables.
nipkow@8749
    24
Hence the function \isa{value} takes an additional parameter, an {\em
nipkow@9541
    25
  environment} of type \isa{nat\ {\isasymRightarrow}\ bool}, which maps variables to
nipkow@8749
    26
their values:%

\subsubsection{If-expressions}
nipkow@8749
    37
nipkow@8749
    38
An alternative and often more efficient (because in a certain sense
nipkow@8749
    39
canonical) representation are so-called \emph{If-expressions} built up
nipkow@8749
    40
from constants (\isa{CIF}), variables (\isa{VIF}) and conditionals
nipkow@8749
    41
(\isa{IF}):%

\subsubsection{Transformation into and of If-expressions}
nipkow@8749
    56
nipkow@8749
    57
The type \isa{boolex} is close to the customary representation of logical
nipkow@8771
    58
formulae, whereas \isa{ifex} is designed for efficiency. It is easy to
nipkow@8749
    59
translate from \isa{boolex} into \isa{ifex}:%

At last, we have something we can verify: that \isa{bool2if} preserves the
nipkow@8749
    70
value of its argument:%

nipkow@8749
    81
In fact, all proofs in this case study look exactly like this. Hence we do
nipkow@8749
    82
not show them below.
nipkow@8749
    83
nipkow@8749
    84
More interesting is the transformation of If-expressions into a normal form
nipkow@8749
    85
where the first argument of \isa{IF} cannot be another \isa{IF} but
nipkow@8749
    86
must be a constant or variable. Such a normal form can be computed by
wenzelm@9673
    87
repeatedly replacing a subterm of the form \isa{IF\ {\isacharparenleft}IF\ \mbox{b}\ \mbox{x}\ \mbox{y}{\isacharparenright}\ \mbox{z}\ \mbox{u}} by
wenzelm@9673
    88
\isa{IF\ \mbox{b}\ {\isacharparenleft}IF\ \mbox{x}\ \mbox{z}\ \mbox{u}{\isacharparenright}\ {\isacharparenleft}IF\ \mbox{y}\ \mbox{z}\ \mbox{u}{\isacharparenright}}, which has the same value. The following

Their interplay is a bit tricky, and we leave it to the reader to develop an
nipkow@8749
   105
intuitive understanding. Fortunately, Isabelle can help us to verify that the

   106
transformation preserves the value of the expression:%

The proof is canonical, provided we first show the following simplification

Note that the lemma does not have a name, but is implicitly used in the proof
nipkow@8749
   119
of the theorem shown above because of the \isa{[simp]} attribute.
nipkow@8749
   120
nipkow@8749
   121
But how can we be sure that \isa{norm} really produces a normal form in
nipkow@8749
   122
the above sense? We define a function that tests If-expressions for normality%
